This PowerPoint deck is designed to help those who want to understand the richness behind the Pathways Vision Model. It is the presentation made at the American Accounting Association's annual meeting, and the notes provide more insights beyond the words on the screen.

Of course many powerful speakers, like evangelical preachers, make presentations without any visual aids, including PowerPoint, Videos, White Boards, or Chalk Boards.

For those that want live Websites, there's a bit of a risk since Webservers can fail when you need them the most or access to the Internet may be very expensive as is sometimes the case in a hotel ballroom. Also the presentation may be made in a room without an Internet connection (including wireless) such as a presentation in a developing country.

The trick I used to use is to make a Camtasia video of live Website pages and then make my own live presentation using the Camtasia video complete with the Pause button and a laser pointer.

When anti-PowerPoint professors rant it's usually about those boring PowerPoints that have too much text or are simply bullet points. But those same professors fail to mention how wonderful PowerPoint can be to point, with a laser pen, to a parts of a complicated graph or columns of numbers in a table.

It's not that PowerPoint is bad. Like any tool it can be used effectively or be badly misused.
